Outstanding.

Congrats. Not an easy task and getting harder with each passing year.

Thanks to you all.

Oh, 71 has been done for months, bkim. I've got about 55% of the 69s. And about the same for 68. The reused pictures and the airbrushing are somewhat annoying, but I'll enjoying working on completing the sets anyway. I love the 1967 set, but that's a few years down the line, like circa 2025. It actually makes more sense to work on that, but he gap in complete sets would kill me...

Way To Go  V,  way to go.    Now, to get that 71 set done  and a good start to a 1969 set.

The 1969 set is an expansion year set so that means a lot of no hats or air brushed photos.  At least in the first 2 series until the New teams had a chance to play in NY, Boston or Phila. to get new pictures taken in new uniforms.

I love the 1967 set too. Back when i was 11 yo and sent off to get the 7th series because Brooks Robinson was in it.   Should of bought one a month.  The summer i was told some things about this great game.

• There is no clock in baseball, unless it rains you are playing 9 innings
• It is a team sport  that has the most 1 on 1 pairings.
• The team that wins the game will score more in 1 inning then losers score the whole game.
• Good teams score in their next at bat, after allowing the other team to score, and stops them from scoring when you score.
• Do not show up the pitcher, if you do next guy batting is going to be mad at you, because he going to eat dirt.
• PITCHERS LIE when asked it tired

Whoever told you those things was wise indeed. I could try to add my own wisdom to that list, but you've got it pretty well covered.
